Obama White House: ‘It’s 2am and it would be unsafe for Iran to release Captured U.S. Sailors at night’

According to former intelligence officer Michael P. Pregent, President Barack Obama’s White House refused on Tuesday to secure the release of 10 Navy sailors then in Iranian custody because getting them out at 2 a.m. local time would have been “unsafe.”

Obama might as well have spoken with the sailors himself and told them to go to sleep because it was past their bedtime.

“The best line yet from WH: It’s 2am and it would be unsafe for Iran to release American Military Personnel at night,” Pregent tweeted at 2:36 P.M. on Wednesday afternoon.

Pregent, a lecturer at North Dakota University’s College of International Security Affairs, added that this is why we need military veterans in government — because the idea that “it’s dangerous for the U.S. Navy to operate at night” is simply absurd. Read More

BREAKING: Trey Gowdy Just Did It – Rot In Prison You Miserable Person!

Representative Trey Gowdy is one person in Washington D.C. that not many people would want to go head to head with, and for a good reason. Gowdy has built his career on being a strong litigator while serving in South Carolina as a prosecutor trying some of the state’s hardest cases. Gowdy then put his skills to a better use when he decided to run for S.C. Representative and has used his litigation expertise to root out corruption in Washington.

So, on Wednesday, Trey “Pitbull” Gowdy interviewed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein before the House Judiciary Committee concerning the conflicts of interest and corruption within the Department of Justice and FBI. Instead of giving Rosenstein a pass after it was discovered that Robert Mueller’s team was hardly unbiased, Gowdy ripped into Rosenstein in an epic 6-minute tirade that you have to see to believe.

In the video, Trey Gowdy starts pointing out the very reason a Special Counsel was even appointed was to have an investigation that was not riddled with special interests. However, that has hardly been the case ever since Robert Mueller was tapped to head this witchhunt into President Trump almost a year ago.

In fact, the team that Mueller assembled to look into any criminal wrongdoings of the President of the United States is mired in corruption and bias to none other than Hillary Clinton. Trey Gowdy brings up the point that the demoted D.O.J. official Bruce Ohr and his wife worked for Fusion GPS.

Of course, Rosenstein kept insisting that there was no witchhunt after President Trump, but those text messages imply something else entirely. Fox News reported on those nasty messages yesterday in a shocking report that shows just how deep the corruption in this so-called Special Counsel really goes.

Text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page in 2016 that were obtained by Fox News on Tuesday refer to then-candidate Donald Trump as a “loathsome human” and “an idiot.”

More than 10,000 texts between Strzok and Page were being reviewed by the Justice Department after Strzok was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe after it was revealed that some of them contained anti-Trump content.

The messages were sent during the 2016 campaign and contain discussions about various candidates. On March 2, Strzok texted Page that someone “asked me who I’d vote for, guessed [Ohio Gov. John] Kasich.”

“Seriously?! Would you not [vote] D[emocrat]?” Page responded.

“I don’t know,” Strzok answered. “I suppose Hillary [Clinton].”

“I would [vote] D,” Page affirmed.

Two days later, Page texted Strzok, “God, Trump is a loathsome human.”

“Yet he many[sic] win,” Strzok responded. “Good for Hillary.”

Later the same day, Strzok texted Page, “Omg [Trump’s] an idiot.”

“He’s awful,” Page answered.

“America will get what the voting public deserves,” said Strzok, to which Page responded. “That’s what I’m afraid of.”

Strzok later told Page, “Exacty [sic] re Kasich. And he has ZERO appeal.”

Twelve days later, after Trump took a commanding lead in the Republican delegate race with victories in key “Super Tuesday” primaries, Page texted Strzok, “I can not believe Donald Trump is likely to be an actual, serious candidate for president.”

Four months later, Strzok and Page exchanged messages mocking Trump and his family at the Republican National Convention.

“Oooh, TURN IT ON, TURN IT ON!!! THE DO*CHEBAGS ARE ABOUT TO COME OUT,” Strzok texted Page on July 19. “You can tell by the excitable clapping.”

“NO WAY!” Page answered, adding “God, it’s just a two-bit organization. I do so hope his disorganization comes to bite him hard in November.”

On Aug. 6, Page texted Strzok a New York Times article about Muslim lawyer Khzir Khan, who became embroiled in a war of words with Trump after Khan spoke at the Democratic National Convention.

“Jesus. You should read this. And Trump should go f himself,” Page wrote in a message attached to the article.

“God that’s a great article,” Strzok answered. “Thanks for sharing. And F TRUMP.”

Now, these are the people that are supposed to be looking into corruption, but seem to be pulling for the other guy, how is that supposed to work?

The whole reason why Jeff Sessions recused himself from looking into this ridiculous Russian collusion charade was so that there was not an appearance of bias, yet here we are with all sorts of prejudice and special interests. This entire investigation needs to be shut down and let go since it is evident that there is no proof of wrongdoing by Trump, but there is plenty of evidence of impropriety by Mueller and his team.

Thank God there are people like Trey Gowdy still in office willing to push for the truth and fight for the American people.

BREAKING: Trump Could Be Removed From Office Without Impeachment – This MUST Be Stopped!

Since Donald Trump was elected as president, the left has been doing whatever they can to remove him from office. These spiteful liberals cannot accept the fact that Trump is in fact, the president and beat Hillary Clinton, so instead, they will continue to fan the flames of division. The first tactic the left focused on was the bogus Russian collusion story, and as time passed the entire narrative began to blow up in their faces. Every time the left thought they had a piece of so-called “evidence” to tie Trump to the Russians it turned out to be a Clinton operative which has only frustrated the Democrats to no end.

Now, these hateful individuals are focusing on a new tactic to remove President Trump from office, and if we are not careful, they may get their wish.

Over the past few weeks, we have witnessed an influx of sexual assault allegations coming out against politicians on either side of the aisle. Roy Moore, the Republican candidate for Alabama Senate, was hit with sexual assault allegations stemming from 40 years ago. Even though the claims were hardly corroborated and the chief accuser conceded that she did lie the damage was already done, and Moore lost to the ultra-liberal Doug Jones last night.

Soon after Moore was accused of sexual impropriety, the #METOO campaign took hold as women logged onto social media recounting their stories of sexual assault at the hands of high powered politicians. Then allegations against Democrat Senator Al Franken and Congressman John Conyers emerged, and the two resigned from office.

Now, you may be asking yourself how does this tie into pressuring President Trump to step down from office? Well, the answer is quite simple. If the left can get enough women to come forward accusing President Trump of sexual assault they can do their best to force him to resign from office.

And, that is the entire purpose of the sudden influx of sexual assault allegations against politicians rearing its head at this time.

Due to the decaying culture and values of America and Donald Trump’s agenda to restore many of those values, Donald Trump is hated and despised by a large sector of the population. They have been trying to find ways to prevent Trump from taking office and then ways to get him out of office now that he has been inaugurated.

Democrats had put their hopes in the Russian election interference investigations, but so far, that seems to be backfiring on them as there has been more evidence linking the Clinton campaign with the Russians than the Trump campaign.

One House Democrat believed he could lead an effort to impeach President Trump and remove him from office, but that effort was soundly defeated with the majority of Democrats voting to table the resolution.

So, how can they possibly get rid of Trump?

‘Me too’!

Several women tried to prevent Trump from winning the election by making sexual allegations against him, but Trump denied the allegations and believed they were handled since no hard evidence was ever presented.

Now that the ‘me too’ craze is causing several members of Congress to resign suddenly, over a dozen women have banded together to make sexual allegations against Trump and immediately, some Democrats in Congress began calling for Trump to resign.

Trump has responded by saying that the allegations are not true, they’re fake news and he denies all of the allegations.

So, who will Congress believe – Trump or his accusers?

If Trump is guilty, then Democrats need to be reminded how they vehemently defended Bill Clinton and refused to vote him out of office during his impeachment hearing. I’m not condoning the behavior, but right now, Trump is the best thing that could happen to America and we need him in the Oval Office.

Now, no one is saying that politicians that are found guilty of sexual assault should remain in office, but just an allegation should not ruin a man’s career. There is a reason that there are a statue of limitations and if these women were genuinely assaulted by a politician or a person in power, there is no reason that there should not be a paper trail to corroborate it their story of abuse. After years of silence, these women should not be given a platform to destroy someone based on what political office these men are for now, and that goes across the board.

If these are the tactics that the left are going to use to silence their opposition you can bet they will use them harder in 2018 and of course, in 2020 with the next presidential election. Make no mistake folks, this is a war we are in and it is now the time to fight back against these tactics or we can say goodbye to the United States.

Sometimes when people say “we” they mean it symbolically; like when a couple says “we’re pregnant” or when the CEO of a company says “we have designed a better (fill in the blank) usually they aren’t getting their hands dirty, and people know it. There’s general, communal terminology, and then there’s just trying to make yourself look better at someone else’s expense.

In the case of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, it seems to be a combination of the latter and good old-fashioned lying. Jong-un has decided to risk the lives of all 25 million North Korean souls under his care, as well as all the Americans he hopes to take out in the crossfire and pick a fight with the United States. Jong-un’s insistence on continuing his nuclear missile tests, despite every diplomatic strategy to stop him, is a course of action that is likely to end in fatalities for the North Koreans.

President Trump has tried time and again to reach out via diplomacy, but the petty dictator of North Korea continues his standoff, growing more and more aggressive and his propaganda campaign has gotten more and ridiculous as time went on. Daily Mail reports of his most recent exploits and how transparent his lies are. Jong-un, who is not known for his athletic ability, apparently is claiming to have scaled an 8,300-foot mountain, all without so much as breaking a sweat:

“He is the chubby dictator who ‘learnt to drive at the age of three’ and once bragged of scoring 11 holes in one on his first round of golf.

Now North Korean state media has made another dubious claim about Kim Jong-un’s ‘superhuman powers’ after insisting the overweight tyrant had climbed an 8,000ft mountain.

Pyongyang media said the 33-year-old had managed to scale Mount Paektu – a sacred spot for North Koreans – after walking ‘through thick snow’ to reach the summit.

But pictures show Kim wandering around on the snow-capped mountain with hardly a bead of sweat and wearing spotless and shiny shoes.”

While all of this might seem a bit ridiculous to us, it all fits in perfectly with the carefully crafted image that Jong-un attempts to project to the rest of the world. One of the saddest things about Jong-un thinking that he can push this off on the world (I mean other than the possibility that he is planning to sacrifice millions of lives at the altar of his “short man syndrome“) is the fact that no one is able to talk to him and explain how crazy he seems.

He obviously doesn’t understand how sports work, and no one is willing to stand up and tell the emperor that in his own way, he has no clothes. Probably because his “off with their heads” kind of response to criticism has put a damper on the opinions of others. Defectors from North Koreas talk of growing up in a world where they believe that the ruling family can even hear the thoughts of those who would speak against the royal family.

Here’s more from our source about the details of not only Jong-un’s impressive “hike” but his continued efforts to wipe the United States off the map:

“Rodong Sinmun reported how Kim’s ‘eyes reflected the strong beams of the gifted great person seeing in the majestic spirit of Mount Paektu the appearance of a powerful socialist nation which dynamically advances full of vigour without vacillation at any raving dirty wind on the planet.’

Mount Paektu has been decreed as the ‘sacred’ birthplace of the secretive state’s first dictator, Kim’s grandfather.

Pictures released by the regime show Kim in the snow on North Korea’s border with China, which the regime rewrote history to claim was [the] birthplace of Kim Il-Sung, the Communist who ruled from after the Second World War until 1994.

He was in fact born in the Soviet Union, but the mountain, has long been integral to the country’s identity.

It is reputedly the birthplace of the earliest Korean leader ever recorded, Dangun, who according to legend founded the early kingdom of Gojoseon in 2333BC.

The mountain is believed to be the site of the deadliest volcano eruption in history and there are fears it may erupt again as a result of North Korea’s nuclear weapons testing.

A thousand years ago it exploded so violently that ash fell as far away as northern Japan.

Last month Bruce Bennett, a senior defense analyst at the Rand Corporation, warned one of the nuclear weapon tests carried out by North Korea could have a catastrophic effect.

North Korea, formally called the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), last week tested its most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile, saying the device could reach all of the United States.

Two U.S. B-1B heavy bombers joined large-scale combat drills over South Korea on Thursday amid warnings from North Korea that the exercises and U.S. threats have made the outbreak of war ‘an established fact.’

The annual U.S.-South Korean ‘Vigilant Ace’ exercises feature 230 aircraft, including some of the most advanced U.S. stealth warplanes.

North Korea’s foreign ministry blamed the drills and ‘confrontational warmongering’ by U.S. officials for making war inevitable.

U.S. national security adviser H.R. McMaster said at the weekend the possibility of war was ‘increasing every day.’

He said Trump was prepared to take action against North Korea but was working to convince China, Russia and others to do more to press Pyongyang to get it to give up its weapons programs.

U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham urged the Pentagon on Sunday to start moving U.S. military dependants out of South Korea, saying conflict with North Korea was getting close.

The Pentagon said it has ‘no intent’ to move out any dependants.

Joseph Yun, the U.S. special representative for North Korea policy, will travel to Japan and Thailand next week to meet government officials ‘to discuss ways to strengthen the pressure campaign following the DPRK latest ballistic missile test,’ the State Department.

‘The United States looks forward to continuing its partnership with both these nations so that the DPRK will return to credible talks on denuclearization,’ it added.

But Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says he believes the chances of dialogue to resolve the tensions over North Korea’s nuclear weapons program are low.

Lavrov was speaking Friday while attending an OSCE ministerial summit in Vienna.

He said ‘the North Koreans have told us more than once that they need security guarantees, especially in the situation when Washington is trying to withdraw from the agreements on the Iranian nuclear programme’.
